75th Police Precinct Station House is a historic police station located in Brooklyn, New York. It was built in 1886 and is a three-story, yellow brick building above a sandstone foundation and watertable in the Romanesque Revival style. It features a round corner tower and Norman-inspired projecting main entrance portico. The stable is a two-story brick building connected to the station house by a one-story brick passage. It ceased use as a police station in 1973 and later used by a local church.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]

In 2009 the precinct was re-named Ghee's old command. [2]
